Top 10: Least Romantic Gifts

Men make buying gifts for women an impossible task. Birthdays, anniversaries and Valentine’s Day spring up and guys are clueless about what to buy their partners. They tend to add extra pressure to the purchase, thinking no gift is ever good enough. So, they put off shopping until the last minute and race around the mall like lunatics with no plan, forgetting everything they know about their partners, ignoring price tags, and leaving common sense in the car.

This digs guys in even deeper. They justify their last-minute gifts to themselves while waiting at the checkout: "She always wanted this blender," or "She wants to be more assertive at work. This book is perfect." While terrible gifts can always be returned, the confused look on her face and feeling of disappointment will never go away. She will never let you live the moment down. Remember that workout DVD? So does she.

This could all be avoided if guys would just stop and think. A little guidance doesn't hurt either. Here are 10 of the least romantic gifts a guy could buy a woman. Avoid them like the restroom at Biggest Loser auditions.
